This is a great mod BUT....the bulkheads seem to give way far too easily in a depth charge attack.May need some adjustments.Two careers now I have been lost to easily destroyed bulkheads.Earlier in the attack i took some minor damage and flooding to the conning tower and engine room, it was repaired and pumped, then a few runs later, stern torpedo room and engine room bulkheads went to 100 percent.Love the mod and what youve done but may want to adjust how easily the bulkheads are destroyed.Fleetboats were tough as nails, not tanks but they were tough.Just some feedback

I simply love this mod, has made the game fun again. Not sure how I feel about bulkheads, I don't notice easy damage unless a charge hits close, then damage can be massive through the sub. I had an escort make a run, not sure how many charges were in he blast range, but all my bulkheads were destroyed but one and mass damage to most equipment. I was headed for the bottom, but hit the seafloor at 300ft. I figured I was dead, just waiting, but not to be. Did get some battery power, when the enemy cleared, blew tanks and hit flank for 2 knots, rose up a tad, but couldn't surface...being able to sit on the bottom was saving me. I felt like Tang, all men trapped in one compartment unable to surface.I was able to move, down to 1kt I got shallow enough my deck was above water, stranded on land. I did deck repairs fixed one engine and tried again, but sub being flooded I sunk, rinse and repeat back to the shallows...we beached the sub and found some native women.

I don't recall if your rescue mod works with this mod, but wouldn't it be great if u could call a sub to come save your crew or an abandon ship option...I know, virtually impossible.

Anyway, it may be the zones, but maybe the splash range or new hull zone allows one charge to ruin compartments further away, instead of one,but that may be how things need to work, but one close charge should be death 99% of the time anyway.....still much better than any other mod out there.

Hope you continue to think outside of the box with your mods, I've been waiting for these changes for years.

Mod of the year IMO

Hi. I'm still modding Silent Hunter 4. I just won't be contributing my mods here at Subsim forums any more. Please see here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...8&postcount=49

The mod has been updated, just wanted to let anyone interested know.

IMO there are some excellent ideas being executed in this mod. Have a look at the changelog and give it a try, if you are in the mood for a more unforgiving (to mistakes) experience.

Just tried to get on Travellers mod site and it has been removed. To bad I liked some of his stuff.

Hylander_1314 · 07-08-12, 10:08 PM

Oh man, that sucks...............

Armistead · 07-08-12, 11:23 PM

I'll see if I can get in touch with him. He makes some good mods, I really enjoy using recent Trav mod, really adds excitement to the game.

STEED · 07-09-12, 10:07 AM

I was hoping to give this a go as I'm back on SH4 at the moment.

HW3 · 07-09-12, 09:26 PM

One of his last posts over there said he didn't even have SH4 loaded on his computer anymore.

I have some of his mods but, I can not share them due to not having his permission to do so. He put this statement on the bottom of all his readme's.

I will not violate his wishes.

:/

Now I regret deleting his mod, I was waiting for the RFB version. Does anyone know if theres a place I can get the TMO version? Its quite selfish (to put it nicely) to make a mod like this, and just remove any way to aquire it.

Armistead · 07-20-12, 08:36 PM

Yea, I use it and love the changes, but as stated wouldn't upload it without his permission. Maybe I can get in touch with him directly and see if he'll put it up somewhere, maybe Ubi if he doesn't want to here. Seems he ran into some issues with some here, I really don't know the story, but he is a great modder, shame others can't use it.
